I have 70 computers in my network, pinging them through cmd
every time.
I have this Excel sheet.
Column A: manually written computer names.
Column B: should (but doesn't) write out the IP addresses of computers in column A.
Column C: shows if computer is online or offline based on ping.
Column D: manually written usernames.
I have two working buttons, ping
and stop ping
.
How can I by pressing the ping
button, go through all the computers in column A
and show their IPs and if they are online or not, all at once?
It doesn't have to be done through Excel, if there is a better solution with a view of comp name
, comp ip
, online/offline
. Usernames would be nice to have.
Function Ping(strip)
Dim objshell, boolcode
Set objshell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
boolcode = objshell.Run("ping -n 1 -w 1000 " & strip, 0, True)
If boolcode = 0 Then
Ping = True
Else
Ping = False
End If
End Function

Sub PingSystem()
Dim strip As String
Do Until Sheet1.Range("G9").Value = "STOP"
Sheet1.Range("G9").Value = "Ping"
For introw = 1 To ActiveSheet.Cells(65536, 2).End(xlUp).Row
strip = ActiveSheet.Cells(introw, 2).Value
If Ping(strip) = True Then
ActiveSheet.Cells(introw, 3).Interior.ColorIndex = 0
ActiveSheet.Cells(introw, 3).Font.Color = RGB(0, 0, 0)
ActiveSheet.Cells(introw, 3).Value = "Online"
ActiveSheet.Cells(introw, 3).Font.Color = RGB(0, 200, 0)
Else
ActiveSheet.Cells(introw, 3).Interior.ColorIndex = 0
ActiveSheet.Cells(introw, 3).Font.Color = RGB(200, 0, 0)
ActiveSheet.Cells(introw, 3).Value = "Offline"
ActiveSheet.Cells(introw, 3).Interior.ColorIndex = 6
End If
If Sheet1.Range("G9").Value = "STOP" Then
Exit For
End If
Next
Loop
Sheet1.Range("G9").Value = "Stop ping"
End Sub
Sub stop_ping()
Sheet1.Range("G9").Value = "STOP"
End Sub
This worked for me
